Karankoncolos (animal)
Karankoncolos are creatures, similar in appearance to that of a man, though with larger arms and a second, smaller set connected at the hips that act as their legs. They are said to hunt in packs in Aironoi and survive by dragging their prey into the earth, where they feed. They are not intelligent creatures, but their pack mentality is strong.
We've followed scant rumors and stories to a barren strip of land tucked between the mountains. These flats are said to be something of a hunting ground for the karankoncolos- stories of travelers disappearing into the dirt are almost too common in the nearby villages. Tales of ghouls lurking in the night, taking cattle. We dismount and tie our mounts to a boulder laying at the nearest mountain's feet, and ready our weapons. I scan the empty horizon, the sun setting behind us. Every step must be careful and calculated, lest the ghouls we hunt grab us from below the earth, and pull us to our deaths.
